How do I turn off or customize the time out for the "screen saver" that blanks the screen? I thought it might be part of the power management features, but couldn't find any docs. Note: this is the blanking that occurs both at the console and within X, it's not the screen saver.
Don't know about the console but the builtin X screen saver can be controlled with the xset command. Note that additionally to the "s" option the "dpms" option may be useful if your monitor supports it.
I've tried:
xset -dpms xset s noblank xset s off
without success. My screen still blanks every couple of minutes.
Maybe your window manager/desktop environment override it? What does "xset q" say after entering the above commands and after the screen blanked?
That doesn't seem to be the problem:
pieria:/home/randys# xset q ... Screen Saver: prefer blanking: no allow exposures: no timeout: 0 cycle: 600 ... DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 1200 Suspend: 1800 Off: 2400 DPMS is Disabled ...
